Title: DSL Routers
Post by: TheFox on January 20, 2004, 10:41:00 AM

OK - so I bought this D-Link 604+ ADSL Router to link my two PCs and one laptop to the Net.

This has to be easy I thought, just plug it in, read the manual, and away we go - you must be joking - the manual is about three pages of Techno-babble written in 5 pitch text you can't read without a magnifying glass - and having followed the instructions to the letter (I think) - I am no further forward than when I started - still can't get on the net, and still can't connect any machines together on the network.

My ISP is BT Openworld  and fortunately, I kept my original USB Frog Modem and account on one PC and tried to set up the other with the Router etc - otherwise, you would not be reading this.

So, the question is - does anyone have experience with this router - and better still, configuring it to run under BT Openworld via Windows Explorer ?

According to the html based configuration routine - the ADSL line is connected, and a ping works OK - but I cannot get Explorer to connect to any site online.

Any comments / help will be appreciated


Regards

you need to ASSIGN adresses...locally....to your computers inside your house

then tell your router these adresses
